In Matsevot Saloniki, Emmanuel sources this passage from my ancestor R' Shlomo Amarillo's book Kerem Shlomo as being the son of another ancestor of mine, R' Baruch Angel. I am not entirely sure what it is and I am not confident enough in my Hebrew yet to feel good about my understanding of it. I do know it references other families including Franses and Pijan but I believe it is dealing with daughters of Yehoshua Angel, the son of R' Baruch Angel according to Emmanuel? Many thanks!

Reading the entire postcard will require rotating the page 180 degrees because the content of the letter is written from the bottom of the page, while the address and sender's information are written from the top of the page. The two portions meet in the middle of the page.

Was sent from Siedlce, south of Bialystok.
Probably addressed to Itke/Itzhak Knorozowski

I'd be very grateful if I could get a translation of the handwritten Lithuanian on this document.
I have been able to determine from the block printed letters (using Google Translate) that this was issued by the police to a relative of my mother, a Jewish soldier in the Lithuanian army at the time, but I am not able to read the handwritten script, and I would be very interested to know what the text says.
Thanks for any assistance with this.

Change in Date. Please try to help !
